Why wouldn't the Scranton Road peninsula site be a potential location? Significant size, currently vacant, adjacent to downtown - and could be made more accessible. Again, I'm no expert, but it seems that this site - more than the lakefront which will always have a barrier to downtown access - a major height disparity in the terrain - should be in the thinking.

Of course, Shaker Square is actually in the city of Cleveland.

Halle's was in the building now occupied by Richard Bowen & Associates. Building on Shaker Boulevard directly across from the Rapid station.

Thanks. It does always come down to the cost.

My question was posting just as the preceding answer was positing. That seems to be a partial answer to me. I get the property swap point, but swaps can be 3-way, not just one for one. Again, thanks for the insight.

I'm new to this site and so apologize if this has been addressed. But can someone briefly explain why the existing rail infrastructure at Tower City is not part of the discussion for future Amtrak use, and as part of an intermodal development? As a prior post mentions, there is also the huge parking area behind Tower City that is on the same level as the tracks, which could be used for either trains (that would then not need to be inside) or buses. I assume there is a reason not to do this, but it seems an incredible shame that Cleveland has a wonderful, historic, significant downtown train station that we are about to abandon in favor of something far less grand, not connected to the walkable downtown and does not take advantage of existing hotels, retail, etc. Again, I know there must be an answer, and I'd appreciate a quick tutorial. Thanks
